Rookie WR Dylan Cantrell is out indefinitely

That was fast. Over the course of the last week rookie wide receiver Dylan Cantrell has been name dropped continuously. Supposedly having a very good week of practice. Today, the Charger received bad news.

That doesn’t sound like somebody that will be back anytime soon. Head coach Anthony Lynn is quick to throw out a time along the lines of “he’ll be back in a couple days” or “we’re holding him out for now and we’ll see what he can do later on in the week.” If Lynn isn’t going to throw a timetable on this injury, Cantrell could miss the first preseason game and possibly much more.

Let’s hope that is not the case. Cantrell has the size and speed you can’t coach. He also complements the other receivers around him quite well. I was interested in seeing how many reps Cantrell got with the first team in games. That’s going to have to be put on hold for now.
